I only had my "G" string break only one time, back in my younger days, but it was above my nuts, thanks to an over zealous lady friend. Speaking about guitars, I've had the windings of a G string wear down to the core on my spanish and Dobro guitar but never break. Any pedal guitarist will tell you how often they break strings with their tunings. You can only flex strings by retuning so many times. Your problem seems to be looking for a tuning so easy to play.... Get yourself several guitars and tune them to all different tunings you like, then after finding the right one, stick with it for 20 or so years, then you'll realize EADGBE is the tuning decided upon better than a century ago for some unknown reason. By the way, the episode I described in my first paragraph happened at age 15 years in 1957. It's nice to have memories. Good luck to you.

That's good advice D28, except there IS a reason for the EADGBE. The human hand can configure and reach all the scales and chords in a single grouping on the fingerboard. What freekin' genius figured that out?

We were told in school decades ago that "If you had 100 monkeys pounding on 100 typewriters, they would eventually produce the Complete Works of Shakespeare."
The Internet has proven this to be untrue.
